RE: Howa/Weatherby Vanguard Stainless or Tikka T3 Lite Stainless?
speedgator, after reading the thread and seeing you are looking for a do it all caliber ( the holy grail) I'll throw another in. the old work horse .30-06. It will do everything the others will do but I think you'd find the ammo cheaper than the 7mm mag. It seems that the price of the ammo goes up when they put that little extension on it (Mag).
as for the rifle I own a Howa and am happy with it.
